it’s a swole doge vs cheems meme

on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
accompanied is a text that reads “Here’s the information. What do you wish to do?”

on crying cheems side, there’s popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, “let’s add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you.”

    On MacOS if you click on the “Report…” button it expands to something similar to what you see on the left.

      thanks! never clicked that for fear that they’d do something similar to windows.
      I’ll try it next time it comes up.

      maybe there should be a third button for less confusion? or does it go against apple’s “design” principles? :p

        To demonstrate I got an app to crash, this is what you see when you click on the report button. The report is longer, trying to show where the app crashed, at the bottom there’s a button to send a report to apple

            Yes, on the bottom it says on the left to hide the details, and on the right don’t send and send to apple.

    I’d love to switch to linux. But I love the video games, and I’m a pirate, because I’m broke. Until Linux gets real support for games, I can’t join.

      With proton, Linux can play almost all games just fine. Is it 100%? No. But it is good enough to no longer make that an excuse anymore.

        I’ve been trying for 3 hours to get fedora installed with working Nvidia drivers. Fuck Linux users and their bullshit elitist attitude, this OS is nowhere near user friendly

          “Nvidia” and “Linux” in the same message is the problem I am seeing here.

          Long story short be mad at Nvidia for not having properly supported drivers, they only just allowed opensource drivers but its very much still alpha software.

            They’re literally releasing official versions for Linux. I’m not going to be mad at Nvidia, I’m going to be mad at the Linux community at this point for saying in another thread where I was asking about Nvidia support, and they responded 'nah shouldn’t be an issue, there are only rarely Nvidia issues. Fucking. Liars.

              Official versions sure, but proprietary and they only work with X11 which is essentially deprecated.

              Wayland is replacing X11, Nvidia has made no serious attempts to support Wayland in their proprietary drivers. Fedora, Ubuntu, and now Debian (the core three) have all moved to Wayland by default.

                Nvidia does take serious steps to support Wayland. Only since like half a year ago and not extremely fast but serious steps non the less.

              I only had a driver issue with Nvidia once in more than 10 years running Linux with Nvidia exclusively (need Nvidia for Cuda (and Cuda for work)) and that was fixed by temporarily downgrading

                I wish I had that experience. I’ve had issues on every machine/distro I’ve tried to get NVidia working on. Fedora, Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu, you name it, there’s been driver issues.

                Apparently newer cars (20 series or newer) have a lot more problems

                  Currently I’ve a 3090 before that I had a 1060 and the 3090 I bought almost at release. I genuinely never had a problem.

                  I hate saying this because of the all the toxic attitudes around but I ran gentoo and now arch Linux. Maybe they package the proprietary driver better?

            Garuda Linux

            I may eventually check that out. I was hoping to use a basic version of Linux then configure it for gaming myself to learn a bit, but am quickly realizing that Linux is still as absolutely unfriendly and unusable as it was 20 years ago.

              OK that’s just user error: I want to do what experts are doing but it isn’t easy. Why are these experts so elitist! Cry me a river.

              There are a lot of pre-made solutions that are user friendly smh

    Well of course they need to report your information to Microsoft, after all the application crashed on your computer and since it’s a Microsoft application it can’t be the fault of the application (also why you don’t see an error Log) so you must have been holding it wrong so they need your info to find out how you were holding it wrong.

      if you want to see the logs you have eventmgr.msc which consolidates all logs in one place.

        As stated above. I know that there are actual logs produced (I honestly would not have known where to look for them by heart but that’s my shortcoming) my comment was meant to be sarcastic sorry for dropping that /s

      The fuck are you smoking?

      Or (which is a lot more likely) it sends data so Microsoft can improve the software and fix the bug that you encountered in their software.

      (Why would they want to receive crash dumps if they don’t believe to be at fault? That is just dumb logic)

      If you want to see logs, you can just open the Event Viewer. It is a bit hidden because non-tech savvy people like you don’t understand it.

        Sorry I thought I was exaggerating enough but once again sarcasm doesn’t come through on the internet.

        I know that actual logs are produced and can be viewed and I know that there are actual crash dumps being sent that are actually used for improvement.

        Whole I don’t believe in the “hide what’s happening from the user” approach I get that Microsoft isn’t actually malicious or hates their users.

        Again sorry for dropping the /s
